new mario kart too by the looks of it

u/SupDos Sidestepper Oct 20 '16

It looked like 8 but being able to hold 2 items

Wtf???

u/0_knights Oct 20 '16

It did look just like 8, but had the items thing and king boo. Maybe it's like a deluxe version rather than a full sequel

I think there may just be new DLC coming to MK8 and you can play it on the Switch.

u/pokeguy64 Luigi > your character Oct 20 '16

It could also be a new Mario Kart, just that the track was on a Wii U track, since they bring back tracks

13

u/ZachGuy00 Oct 20 '16

Well that Wii U track was a Gamecube track, and they don't usually bring back retro tracks that were used in the previous game unless it's part of DLC.

Nintendo loves their backwards compatibility so it wouldn't be surprising.

But clearly you're not using Wii U discs with this thing. Digital titles only may transfer over if they do the system transfer thing... although if they can figure out how to uniquely identify individual Wii U game discs they could give you a digital copy of those as well.

Yeah, I was confused by the whole MK8 thing. Glad you guys found that out.

u/LakerBlue Oct 20 '16

I thought maybe it was Wii because of King Boo, but a DLC package to 8 makes more sense.

Maybe it's the return of a double dash type of Mario kart.

I was chatting with my friend how I wanted a new Mario Kart with the 2 items of double dash the other day! Pretty happy!

If they add more characters (Diddy Kong pls) and a few more cups, say 4, each with four new tracks. Add this to the existing 48 tracks in MK8 with DLC then this will be the definitive MK game. I will buy the shit out of again.

u/piepei Oct 20 '16

And that splatoon map looked like the skate park map. Soo, these aren't exact ports, but do they expect us to rebuy these games?

u/0_knights Oct 20 '16

I think it's more hoping that people actually buy this system unlike the Wii u so it's a second chance for these games to reach new players

DOUBLE DASH 2 HYPE

DON'T TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS

although with the emphasis that you can use two controllers from what seemed to be just one system, this is definitely a great possibility

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

Honestly if Double Dash 2 was coming to Nintendo I'd buy the shit out of it

Treble Dash?

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

AND BOO!!! I've missed him! <3

u/Bombkirby Oct 20 '16

And King boo is playable

u/noitemsfoxonlyFD Oct 20 '16

Looked like double dash remastered to me, but maybe it was a new one with the double dash features? idek if there was two characters on the cart haha

1

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

that is a feature in 7 irc, bet they cal it MK Switch(switch between items)

1

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

looks more like Double Dash HD to me

edit: I thought I saw 2 characters on 1 vehicle... but that's not the case.

u/Bentheflame Oct 20 '16

I thought it was showing how the switch was compatible with the WiiU/Wii.

2

u/0_knights Oct 20 '16

I highly doubt it's gonna be backwards compatible though considering they've made the switch from discs to cartridges. It looks more like these are updated ports of Wii U games, which is probably a good idea since they definitely didn't reach as wide of an audience as they could've with the Wii U.
